December 18, 2003

Dreamed of reading the January entries in my diary; hearing the song "What a Wonderful World" in Muzak form; descending on a wire from a helicopter to the sea; a Sopranos wiseguy trying unsuccessfully to shake someone down, and referring to a perceived lesbian as "Frankenstein". (On a Sopranos episode I just saw, Christopher wrongly decided that his fiancee's friend was a lesbian.)

Saw Joel Schumacher's Veronica Guerin at the Bloor. (It cost only three dollars!) It's the true story of an investigative reporter who insisted on relentlessly pursuing Irish drug lords and was ultimately murdered. Pretty conventional storytelling, but Cate Blanchett is a great actress.  I have a special admiration for people who put principle before self-protection!

Dinner was pork roast.

Father finally managed to upload this big file to the bookselling webpage ABEBooks. [He's still in business today.]
